In this dish, tofu is stir-fried until golden and served in a thick umami-flavored sauce. It's garnished with baby king oyster mushrooms and goji berries, both of which are pan-fried in a homemade sauce for added flavor. Serve this comforting dish with a side of fresh rice or noodles of your choice.

Preparation

Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small bowl, mix well, and then set aside.

Heat oil in pan at medium heat. Pan-fry the tofu until each side is golden brown and then divide into serving dishes.

Heat the pan over medium heat, add both the ginger and baby king oyster mushrooms, and stir-fry with 1/2 teaspoon of salt for about 2 minutes.

Pour the sauce ingredients and goji berries into the heated pan. Gently stir, until sauce slightly thickens and boils.

Pour the sauce over tofu and garnish with cilantro and pepper.

Serve immediately with rice.

Notes

If you cannot find baby kind oyster mushrooms, you can substitute them with regular oyster mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms. If you cannot find the fried soy bean paste, you can leave it out completely, or add a tablespoon of black bean paste instead. These can be found in the sauce sections of most Asian grocery stores.
